As part of a broader initiative to increase its offering to customers, Bitvo will provide customers with the ability to purchase or sell XRP and Ethereum Classic with either Canadian dollars or Bitcoin. Customers can also fund their account with either of these new offerings, with any of the other cryptocurrencies Bitvo supports or with Canadian dollars.

The addition of these new cryptocurrencies increases Bitvo’s overall offering to seven including, in order of market capitalization, Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, Dash and Ethereum Classic.

“The addition of XRP and Ethereum Classic is in response to feedback we are receiving from our customers. We’re excited to add these to our offering. As we continue to listen to what our customers want, we will add additional cryptocurrencies as well as optimize the user experience on our platform,” says Pamela Draper, President & CEO.
